Live Jazz in CLE

While in town, make sure to check out some of the city's
best venues for jazz, blues and big band sounds. Each venue features shows
happening throughout the JazzFest weekend.

Found on Cleveland's west side, Brothers Lounge
is an historic club where you can catch anything from big bands and 80s covers
inside the music hall to jazz quartets and acoustic crooners inside the wine
bar.

Owned and operated by the prestigious
Cleveland Music Settlement, which boasts more than a century of musical
expertise, BOP STOP is quickly reemerging as one of the best venues to catch
live jazz music several days of the week.

Jazz and blues will be the theme July 9 -11
at this quintessential Cleveland music venue located on East 4th
Street downtown. And, don't forget to book your spot at the Kirk Franklin
Gospel Sunday Brunch on July 12.

One of the newest spots to catch some tunes
is the Music Box Supper Club on the West Bank of the Flats. The owners - who
have decades of cred in the music biz -book tons of genres including blues,
jazz, soul, Americana, rock, punk, roots and country.

Cleveland Heights' Nighttown was voted one of
the top jazz clubs in the world by Down
Beat magazine with live music nearly every night. With a variety of dining
rooms and intimate performance settings, Nighttown has topped Cleveland's jazz
scene since 1965, and it only gets better with age.
